Onyekachukwu Vincent Onyeche - Born Nigerian

[I] <br />Born into the drastic harsh weather <br />Swollen with pride, <br />In treasures and diplomatic joyfulness <br /> <br />I’m a delightful instinctive Nigerian <br />Who must trench further <br /> <br />Ashamed, not of coal complexion, skin texture <br />Nor Facial appearance <br />For I’m the finest creature <br /> <br />My diverse culture is kept amused <br />That I shall never be a pole parted from my tradition <br />‘Baba’! <br /> <br />[II] <br />I’m so swollen with pride <br />Filled of potency and supremacy <br />Far away from defeat <br />That I believe only in affluence <br /> <br />When I go hunting in the evil forest <br />My smile calms the wild beasts <br />I aim at an indefinite limit <br />No wonder I’m so blessed with talents and wealth <br /> <br />I never pray for hostilities, conflict, and war <br />However, mysteriously I’m renamed by the western culture <br />Pity my ’Inamina’! <br /> <br />[III] <br />A born Nigerian <br />Blessed with mineral resource <br />But Torn by tribalism and impartiality <br /> <br />Scared and pray for an end in embezzlement <br />Most times my blood made the soils because of my Wealth <br />Predators swallow preys, when I cry aloud, I fall victim to the lions <br /> <br />Vocalizing the one language of love <br />I still dance to the though mislaid cultural beat <br />The world shouldn’t be complete without me <br />The delightful instinctive Nigerian <br />‘Ogbebor’.<br /><br />Onyekachukwu Vincent Onyeche<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/born-nigerian/
